Can't figure out how to make a table

Post by kcogman »

I'm very new to LaTeX and I've been trying to make this table but I'm really stuck. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry I don't have a better diagram but I hope that shows what I'm looking for :)

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi kcogman,

welcome to the forum!

The table design is a bit hard to see, as it depends on the font used by the reader's web browser. Rows may be shifted. You can also add images here as attachment, if you would like to draw a table by hand or make a screenshot.

It seems that you would like to have merged cells in columns or rows, which can by done using the \multicol command and the multi row package. Have a look at the examples here, at the end: Creating tables with LaTeX, Spanning entries over multiple columns and Spanning entries over multiple rows. They are explained.
